In this activity, students use an included measuring strip to measure items using a uniform informal unit.
Measure and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, mass and capacity, and instruments with labelled markings
Identify which metric units are used to measure everyday items; use measurements of familiar items and known units to make estimates
Compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning
Measure and compare objects based on length, capacity and mass using appropriate uniform informal units and smaller units for accuracy when necessary
Measure the length of shapes and objects using informal units, recognising that units need to be uniform and used end-to-end
Measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, mass and capacity
Measure and compare the lengths and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units
Compare and order several shapes and objects based on length, area, volume and capacity using appropriate uniform informal units
Describes mathematical situations and methods using everyday and some mathematical language, actions, materials, diagrams and symbols
Supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained
Measures, records, compares and estimates lengths and distances using uniform informal units, metres and centimetres
Measures, records, compares and estimates volumes and capacities using uniform informal units
Measures, records, compares and estimates areas using uniform informal units

Measures and estimates lengths in metres, centimetres and millimetres
Uses grid maps and directional language to locate positions and follow routes
Represents and compares halves, quarters, thirds and fifths as lengths on a number line and their related fractions formed by halving (eighths, sixths and tenths)
